IMPROVEMENT IN SPRING-BOLT AND CLIP.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, J OHN DEEBLE, ofPla-ntsville,

v in the county of Hartford, and in the State of Connecticut, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Spring-Bolts and Clipsfor Carriages; and do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear,and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanyingdrawings, forming a part of this vspecification, in which- Figure 1 is avertical central cross-section of an axle and spring, showing my devicein place.

Figure 2 is a front elevation of the same.

Letters of like name and kind refer to like parts in eaclrof thefigures.

attached to theaxle, by means of clips passing around both spring andaxle, or by extending the spring-bolts downward through the latter.

7 In my device the spring-bolt A has a length sufl icient only to allowit to be extended downward through the spring B, and receive a nut, 0,upon its lower end, 'while the head D extends, laterally, to each sideof said spring, and from-thence downward beside the same and the axle E,in the form of a clip,the lower ends of which are rounded, and eachprovided with a screwthread,-F, and nut, G.

A clamp, H, placed over the bolts upon the lower end of the clip, so asto bear against the under side of the axle, completes the device, bymeans of which the leaves of the spring and the spring and axle maybefirmly secured together.

The advantages obtained by the use of this device are, increasedstrength and durability of parts, without material increase of cost, andalso an improvement in the general appearance of the spring and axle.

Having'thus fully set forth the nature and merits .of my invention,

ters Patent, is-

The hereinbcfore-described spring-bolt and clip, substantially as andfor the purpose shown.

In testimony that I- claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand,this 5th day of January, 1870.
